Na de technische briefings & rondetafelgesprek gisteren over de nieuwe AIVD/MIVD cyberwet, hier een korte reflectie over een aantal totale onjuistheden en rare dingen die daar gezegd zijn. En, ook links naar mensen die wel blij zijn met de nieuwe wet! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reflectie-rondetafelgesprek-cyberwet/

Reflectie rondetafelgesprek en technische briefing wet cyberoperaties - Bert Hubert's writings

Gisteren (5 april) was er een technische briefing van de AIVD en MIVD over de tijdelijke wet cyberoperaties, gevolgd door een rondetafelgesprek met deskundigen. Vorige week was er een technische briefing door de toezichthouders TIB en CTIVD. Mijn spreektekst met veel klikbare voetnoten ter verduidelijking staat hier. Er was een goeie opkomst van geïnteresseerden en Kamerleden, en er waren goede en goed geïnformeerde vragen. Verder schreven de media over de bijeenkomsten: De Correspondent, NRC, Trouw, AD.

In the umpteenth chapter of UK governments battling encryption, Priti Patel in September 2021 launched the “Safety Tech Challenge”. It was to give five companies £85K each to develop “innovative technologies to keep children safe when using end-to-end encrypted messaging services”. Tasked with evalu

Major win for encryption.

European Data Protection Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiórowski said the indiscriminate scanning of private communications proposed by EU’s CSAM regulation “will always be illegal under the Charter of Fundamental Rights (and probably under several national constitutional laws as well),” https://www.euractiv.com/section/law-enforcement/news/eu-watchdog-online-child-abuse-draft-law-creates-illusion-of-legality/

So as I predicted, US tech none too happy at idea of having to conform to solely EU-created standards if classified high risk. This looks awfully like the emergence of an AIA version of safe harbor for US exceptionalists. And we know how well that went 😂

Update: I was fired. I loved working at ORNL's Climate Change Science Institute and am devastated, but am also more determined and hopeful than ever. We have incredible power to affect change together.🌱

I still plan to continue with both research & activism, to the extent possible.

To my wonderful colleagues: My temporary affiliation is LSCE. Please use my personal rather than my work email, which I no longer have access to. Thank you for all of the support so far ♥️
